Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn will be in Washington Tuesday as part of a panel on local law enforcement before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Middleton and Judiciary member, has indicated he will be in attendance for the hearing, titled "Helping State and Local Law Enforcement." U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Milwaukee, also serves on the Judiciary committee.

Flynn, who has served as chief of the Milwaukee Police Department since November 2007, will be joined by Lt. Kris Carlson of the Burlington (Vt.) Police Department -- home of Judiciary chairman Patrick Leahy -- and David B. Muhlhausen of the D.C.-based Heritage Center for Data Analysis.
